the UK government's second (supreme court) appeal was overturned. This deems the government's October/December FIT reduction as unlawful, and rightfully re-instates all installations between 12th Dec 2011 and 3rd March 2012 to a 43p/kWh tariff.

The visit was a resounding success and really emphasised the unique opportunity that exists in Bulgaria at the moment. With parties from all over the world trying to secure their share of the 'solar gold rush' resulting from the overly generous feed in tariff, there was a genuine buzz in the air, the nature of which I had not seen since visiting Brazil.

Of that around $25 billion is invested in the United States, which represents both the world’s largest producer and user of timber.
